Does drinking grapefruit juice really affect all medications?
yes it will…Grapefruit juice contains plant chemicals called flavonoids, which can inhibit enzymes or other substances in the body that are needed to break down medications. If you are taking certain medications, check with your doctor before eating grapefruit or consuming its juice. When taking these medicines, grapefruit juice may interfere with your body’s ability to absorb, process, and properly get rid of the medicine. This may cause a buildup of medication in your body, so you could essentially “overdose,” greatly increasing your risk of dangerous side effects, such as an abnormal heart rhythm, muscle damage, and even death.
